Specifically how do they differ from regular nickel wound? Here is the set I was looking at: http://www.juststrings.com/ghs-1300.html

Does anyone know where I could order some thin wood veneers, like rosewood or maple, that could be used to cut out pickup rings and electronic cavity covers etc...?

What would this setup be like? Would a p90 in the middle be able to give you that 70ish Mountain sound or would it have to be in the bridge? It would be awsome to have a bucker in the bridge for hard rock/metal stuff, but still be able to get that classic big & dirty p90 sound as well. Discuss...

I recently bought a used Ibanez RG7621 and the only problem with it is one of the height adjustment screws on the low B string saddle is rusted and won't budge. I have a piece of pick underneath the saddle right now so it is the correct height and works fine, but I want to know if anyone knows...

I got a bass pod off of ebay to play my bass through my PA at home. The seller had perfect feedback, he shipped fast and kept me in the loop with the tracking number and everything. Well, the pod came today, and it looks brand new.:) I got my PA ready, grabbed my bass, plugged in my cables, and...

The "people hate Jbs" thread got me thinking. I loved the sound of the JB for leads in the Schecter Blackjack C1 I owned, but I hated the loose bottom end for chords. This got me thinking, what would a JB or JB jr sound like in the middle position, something you could use for leads but still...

I just recently bought a Schecter A 7 with case for $150. I don't have it yet, but I know it's gonna need a pup change. For a mahogany body my favorite bridge pup is the custom 5, but Duncan doesn't make that model in a seven string, so I guess the custom would be my first choice right now. I...

After reading the recent threads about the wolfie, and a/b'ing the sound of the stock pickups to my other guitars, I've decided to go ahead and change the pups. The air zone and air norton have gotten me too excited. My question is do I need the f spaced air zone and standard air norton, or...

I've always used the classic pairing of a high output pup in the bridge with a more vintage one in the neck. DD,Custom,JB with 59's,Jazz,AP2.PG's etc... This setup was of course primarily used for clean tones from the neck. Recently, I acquired a hollowbody Schecter E/A with a killer piezo...

Anybody got any suggestions for a new bridge pup for this schecter? It has a Carvin Holdsworth in the neck position right now. It's a pretty good pup, smooth and clean(sh-2ish). I'm thinking maybe JB for the bridge, but I wanted to know if anyone else has any suggestions. I would like a nice...

Has anyone replaced a pickup on one of these. I was wondering where the lead to the bridge pickup is attached. Is it the 3 way switch or one of the pots? I was also wondering if anyone has any helpful tips for wiring a hollow body with no control cavity, only F-holes. Thanks

I recently won, but have not yet received in the mail, a vetta combo (updated to vetta II) off of ebay and I want to hook up my mesa 2x12 cab to it to run one amp from the vetta to the internal speakers and one to my mesa cab. My mesa cab is mono at 8 ohms. The problem is the vetta manual I...

Can you play a bass through a guitar amp? I've poked around on the net and some people say you can as long you don't push the amp very hard, and some say you shouldn't do it all. I have a 50 watt mesa rectoverb head and a 2x12 recto cab, and obviously I don't want to take any chance hurting...

For this split diagam is the bucker split when the switch is down towards the soldered lugs or up towards the empty lugs? I just wanna make sure which way to install the switch.

Artie's effects bypass box worked so well I now want to build an amp switcher box so I can stomp using my DD-5 as the output to my amps. Can someone give me schematic for it? I want to be able to turn each amp on and off with 2 switches. I assume you just plug the guitar into a stereo jack and...
